| Abstract: |
It’s hard to escape blockchain in 2018 – not that we’d like to. Each industry seems to consider the technology as potentially revolutionary and so we asked Sean Crossey of arc-net for an insight into how blockchain might significantly change the food industry. When it comes to our food supply, what we don’t know most certainly can hurt us. The World Health Organisation estimates that almost 1 in 10 people become ill every year from eating contaminated food, with 420,000 dying as a result.Our global food supply has grown so complex that it has become almost impossible for food producers and retailers to guarantee the provenance of their products. |
